Ways to filter search results

Type of result: At the top or bottom of a search results page, you’ll see a number of ways to filter your results to see one type of content. For example, click Images to have all of your search results be pictures, or Shopping to see search results that help you find ways to buy the things you searched for.

Search tools: Once you’ve decided which type of results you want, you can refine your results even further using Search tools. Search tools can include things like location, color, size, and the date a page was published.
